CVE-2025-4527
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA security flaw has been discovered in Dígitro NGC Explorer up to 3.48.21. The impacted element is an unknown function of the component Password Transmission Handler. Performing a manipulation results in client-side enforcement of server-side security. The attack can be initiated remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitability is regarded as difficult. Upgrading to version 3.48.22 is sufficient to resolve this issue. Upgrading the affected component is recommended. The action taken by the vendor is: "Strengthening of security validation performed on the server side, together with improvements to administrative and authentication controls." The vulnerabilities are limited to NGC Explorer and do not affect other Dígitro products, including UNA and Guardião.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceA client-side enforcement vulnerability exists in the Password Transmission Handler component of Dígitro NGC Explorer. The flaw allows manipulation that results in client-side enforcement of server-side security controls, potentially enabling attackers to bypass security measures that should be enforced server-side.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate Digitro NGC Explorer installationFind the directory where Digitro NGC Explorer is installed on the system, typically in Program Files or a custom application directoryAffected if The application is installed and accessible on the system
-
Identify installed versionCheck the application version through its About dialog, version file, or executable properties (right-click the main executable and select Properties > Details > File Version)Affected if The displayed version number is exactly 3.44.15
-
Verify Password Transmission Handler is activeAccess the application settings or configuration menu and locate the Password Transmission Handler component to confirm it is enabled or in useAffected if Password Transmission Handler is enabled or actively used in the configuration
-
Compare against affected versionCompare your confirmed installation version against the affected version 3.44.15Affected if The installed version matches 3.44.15 exactly
You are affected if Digitro NGC Explorer version 3.44.15 is installed and the Password Transmission Handler component is enabled or in use.
